Description
The problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceived role
of the principal in collective negotiations as viewed by elementary and
secondary teachers, elementary and secondary principals, superintendents,
and school board members in Florida. Conclusions. 1. Educators with different employment responsibilities have
different perceptions of the principal's role in negotiations.
2. Educators with similar job responsibilities, in different
areas of the state, have similar perceptions of the principal's role
in negotiations.
3. Superintendents have formulated the strongest opinions of
the role of the principal in negotiations as indicated by generally
more extreme scores than characterized the other employment categories.
4. Instructional level (i.e., elementary or secondary) has no
significant effect on the perceptions of teachers or principals concerning
the principal's role in negotiations.
